question text

To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the Homes and Communities Agency decided to exclude bids for Traveller sites within the Green Belt from consideration under their affordable homes programme for 2015–18, while including bids for housing; and what assessment they made of the implications of human rights and equality law in reaching that decision.

answer text

The Homes and Communities Agency’s prospectus for our affordable housing programme makes clear that “we do not expect to receive bids for schemes on Green Belt land or other land with special environmental protections”, and this applies across all forms of accommodation, not just traveller sites.The Government has a planning policy which seeks to safeguard Green Belt protection; consequently, we have intentionally aligned our housing policy to ensure it is consistent.The Homes and Communities Agency fully considers its obligations under equality and human rights law.We believe that planning rules should be applied fairly and consistently. The perception that certain groups are given ‘special treatment’ in the planning system creates community tensions, harming the cause of equality.
